Brea, California - Disgraced former Assemblyman Mike Duvall released a statement today, basically claiming that the recorded conversation he had with Assemblyman Jeff Miller while at recess during a committee meeting was a fabricated story. His Assembly web page has been removed, so here is the official statement from Duvall's 2010 campaign website:

"I want to make it clear that my decision to resign is in no way an admission that I had an affair or affairs. My offense was engaging in inappropriate story-telling and I regret my language and choice of words. The resulting media coverage was proving to be an unneeded distraction to my colleagues and I resigned in the hope that my decision would allow them to return to the business of the state."

Sacramento, California - Assemblyman Mike Duvall, who represented parts of north-eastern orange county, resigned his office on September 9 after CBS2/KCAL news in LA released tapes of him and Assemblyman Jeff Miller talking about Mr Duvall's sexual exploits with a reportedly married female lobbyist for Sempra Energy, Heidi DeJong Barsuglia.

Rumors of such an affair have been swirling around in political circles for a few months now, with Mr Duvall and Mrs Barsuglia reportedly seen together, sometimes arm in arm, around the capitol at dinners and at the grocery store. Now the question remains, is Mr Miller involved and approving of this type of activity, or did he 'set-up' Mr Duvall and leak the tape to KCAL/CBS2 as some news outlets are reporting.

Either way, is this the sort of activity that should be going on in Sacramento? Shouldn't we expect better of our elected officials? It is one thing to cheat on your wife (pathetic choice!) - its even worse to disgustingly brag about it like a 14 year old school boy WHILE serving your district at a committee meeting.

Is it any better to sit there, listen and participate in such a conversation Mr Miller? What do YOU think readers?

Transcript of the conversation between Mr Duvall and Mr Miller (Other Person), with video below:

Mike Duvall: (unintelligible) ...She wears little eye-patch underwear, so I can see her eye patches. So, the other day she came here with her underwear, Thursday. And so, we had made love Wednesday, a lot. And so she'll she's all, I am going up and down the stairs and you're dripping out of me. So messy. (laughing) ...I, I, I, I saw your staffer, and she didn't that night, at the store ...yeah.

(pause) ...So I am getting into spanking her… Yeah, I like it… I like spanking her. She goes, I know you like spanking me, I said yeah, that's 'cause you're such a bad girl. (laughing)

And so her birthday was Monday. So I was 54 on June 14th, so for a month she was 19-years younger than me. I said now you're getting old, I am going have to trade you in, and she goes, she's 36, she is 18 years younger than me. And so I keep teasing her, and she goes I know you French men, you divide your age by 2 and add 7, and if you're older than that, you dump us.

I go were did you get that math? She goes I looked it up. She goes I know all about you French men. So what would that make that, that means, okay, 27 and 7, I go (expletive), you're still okay, you got one more year man. I go, and I go, she goes let's make the best out of it.

Other Person: (unintelligible)

Mike Duvall: Oh, yeah, Sher, Shar, Shar...Oh, she is hot. I talked to her yesterday. She goes, so are we finished? I go, no, we're not finished. I go, you know about the other one, but she doesn't know about you. (laughing)
